Microservice Apps Azure

Question

Hey!&nbsp;I started developing my applications with microservices and now I want to host a development environment in Azure but I dont know what to use. I also want to keep the infrastructure cost as low as possible but dont want to miss out on important features. I started to look up some services and found container instances, app service, Azure Kubernetes Service and also container apps.&nbsp;&nbsp;Can anybody tell me where to start for a simple dev environment? I could also host my own VMs but I prefer PaaS right now, because I don't want to keep everything in check by myself.&nbsp;&nbsp;I would also like to be able to ship everything to an production environment with no effort.&nbsp;&nbsp;Regards,&nbsp;Pkr&nbsp;

PKR187&nbsp;&nbsp;Yes, I believe you are in the right directly by leveraging PaaS or embedded service in terms of optimizing uptime and running cost, say web service may considering webapp, btw, may need further service breakdown to see whether design and plan best fit

PKR187&nbsp;&nbsp;It depends on your needs, you can use the following flowchart to figure out which dev application you need in Azure :&nbsp;In addition, for CI/CD ( &amp; easier collaboration) you can use Azure DevOps (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/user-guide/what-is-azure-devops?view=azure-devops)
